This past year has been a year of change and movement. But finally, after 13 months of nomadic wandering through Europe and the States, I can finally say that I live in New York.
I’m still mainly in London, waiting for various bureaucrats to process/stamp various documents, but for the tail end of last week found myself in an old mill near Derby, at Laptops and Looms.
Mayo Nissen is a designer and strategist interested in the intersections and interplay between industrial design, service thinking, and interaction design, and in developing strategies across and beyond these disciplines to leave the world in better shape than he found it. He’s lived on a boat and gone to school in a castle, as a young child spoke fluent Spanish and then forgot it all, studied design on a campus noted for its 60s brutalist architecture, and takes great pleasure from finding useful things in skips.
He works at ReD Associates, and was previously principal designer at Urbanscale, both in New York. His is a graduate of the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, and has an undergraduate degree in Industrial Design from Brunel University in London. He doesn’t know what the future might actually hold. It’s more exciting that way.
Please feel free to get in touch.
